same, although i dont like electric drums at all, or gimmicks for that matter, why use some bullshit like masks to get popular?

well i dont think the masks are really gimmicks to get attention.... i dont like the masks though. the drums might be, but even without the electric drums i think id like them.

i would probably dig them more if they just used normal drum sounds. but i dunno, the guitar parts are pretty crappy, its like they just focus on the drums man.

haha all my freinds tell me that music is more than just drums especially when I say that I like bands where the drummer is really good but the other musicians suck ass.

in their words:

"that is the funny thing about you tim, you can judge an entire band on the drummer."

that said I like bands where the drummer is crap, like burzum....

To get out of some rumors his name is Gaz, i dont know his last name but i sure know his first one. He plays drums for 18 years now started when he was 9.

the technique the bezerker drummer is using is called a rim shot roll, one hand hits the snare, stick then pivots off the rim in flux, sounds like a single stroke roll, with one hand, he not the only one who can do this, ive seen a few jazz fusion guys do this, and some grind drummers, ill list a few
chris corsano<nyc,hes in alot of last name bands, jazz improv noise style>
zach hill<hella, jazz fusion alla lightning bolt, pink and brown style noise>
drummer of kill the client, metal/grind
drummer of naked city<the album with that photo of a dude face down in the street, whoever drums sounds like he doing rim roll stuff>

also known as the gravity blast, one handed roll etc.

they are fun, I like to use them

One handed rolls off the rim suck. I wish i knew how to do it Buddy Rich style.

but I can get reasonable volume out of them, but unfortunatley when I am double kicking like fuck then they can't be heard

that is why triggers are on my drum wish list.

its definatly hard to hear it with fullstacks around you, looks real cool, sounds good recorded but, live, doesn't matter how good the sound man is, unless it comes down to some sort of snare trigger-like technology,your not really gonna be heard. i loath triggers, granted some bands i like definatly use them, i think triggers or limiters were innovated during the heyday for disco, i don't know much about them, but why bring the drums along when your using them, waste of van space, why dont you make a set out of PA speakers, coz thats where people are gonna hear your artificial drum sound from anyway. want drum louder, hit drum harder

Good for you.

Hold up, is that on a snare with one hand???????

Oh fuck off, thats only on a bongo drum, 2 hands I just played the video

i loaded that video, it didnt even show what the guy did, looks like he sat down with a bongo, some weird mechanical device was blocking the way, if he wasn't using sticks im not interested, and if he was, he may not of been using that particular type of roll, who knows,either way he was probably doing only one kinda of rudiment at an completely insane tempo speed, also this is the record for one drum. the guy in bezerker, and whole bunch of other drummers do the gravity roll, double bass roll and last but not least adjust the high hat so they can put the stick in between the dishes and rattle it, creating again, a double hand effect,all of this at the same time, thats gonna be alot more hits. but even if you can do as to what i described noones gonna hear it at a live show unless you have triggers, but at that point you might as well be hitting tuperware containers coz your only relying on your PA for volume

that is painfully out of date, the record was held by Mike Mangini but he got beaten, it stands at 1,199

IMO, i think the berzerker drummer is awesome. and no it wasnt 20 beats a sec with one hand. he used 2 hands. no he didnt use 4 limbs to achieve that goal, if u watch the dvd's and music videos you'd see otherwise. i forgot who said that he probably used 4 limbs but i never bothered to quote him. we all have our different opinions on the berzerker and thats cool, but this thread was our opinion on the berzerker drummer, not the berzerker, so........ and about the masks and electronic drum noises to get attention??? thats stupid, if they wanted attention, they wouldnt be playing death metal. personally i think the berzerker is great, some of you dont, oh well...

no, I think you will find the bezerker dude when he is doing thosae really fast blasts he gravity blasting which gives close to 20 beats per second when you do it real fast.

I know this cause you can hear him using cymbals at the same time, and unless he has a 3rd arm that would be very difficult.

although it is not impossible that he has mastered the ancient art of penis durmming, he could be doing 16ths with his left hand and penis on the snare giving a clean 32nd roll between them and playing cymbals with his right hand.

i dont get it, if the bezerker guy can do 20 per second, one hand for one minute, he beats the nashville guiness guy who used two by a 140 or so hits, he'll also beat the other guy listed who had 1199 hits by one hit, this world record doesnt seem accurate, plenty of drummers can do that roll, also there is double end rolls which are easier to do and can be just as fast, this is probably a single stroke contest,cancelling out all rudiments

hahahahahaha
